Lufdesigns Brings Nature & Whimsy To Efficient & Ecological Design.

Tsunho Wang and his firm Lufdesign began as a product development company in Seoul, Korea in 2002. Wang and his designers have since moved into a conceptual approach, sustainable innovation and new ways to approach branding.

Nilfish, lufdesign’s brand, develops various technologcal and organizational products through collaborating with rising designers from outside.

Having received several awards for their innovations and wonderful design concepts like; the melding of a trash can and dust bin, a flying stick camera, the Saver clip which displays the amount of energy being wasted, and a wind-chime that can be programmed to emit data and nature sounds, they are now selling two of their products directly via their site.

The leaf tie has spawned such consumer love and loyalty, there's even a flickr pool for user's photos here.

The Fork And Cream Sauce is another clever cable management design, a large portion of whose proceeds benefit Save The Children.

Both the Leaf Ties and The Fork and Cream Sauce are available directly from their site via paypal.
